Lunch Atop A Skyscraper (Redux)

4:50 pm February 10, 2012 Chompsky

234m above the streets of Perth, construction workers on City Square Tower recreate the famous 1932 photo taken on the 69th floor of the GE Building in Manhattan.

These lads are tethered with harnesses and wearing safety gear. Their predecessors in NYC wore flat caps and were attached to the beam by their bad asses alone.

Still. Go steel monkeys!
